What it does
Submit your rebate agreement (tiers, thresholds, annual spend). The Rebate Calibrator calculates the real effective discount, compares it to the PackIndex market discount achievable through direct negotiation, and drafts an index-linked rebate alternative that aligns supplier incentives with market movements.
Example use case
A buyer has a 1.5%/2.5% tiered rebate at $500k/$750k spend. The Calibrator calculates the effective discount is 1.8% — below the 3.2% PackIndex CORR movement that should have driven a price reduction. It drafts an index-linked rebate clause that automatically adjusts as PackIndex moves.
Frequently asked questions
Is a rebate better than a lower base price?
Not always — the agent calculates the equivalent base price reduction and compares. A lower base price is often more valuable than a rebate.
Can I use this for multi-category rebates?
Yes — submit the rebate structure across all categories with the relevant PackIndex code for each.
Does the draft clause reference PackIndex?
Yes — the index-linked alternative explicitly references the PackIndex L3 code for the relevant format.
